Promoting Unity

Members of the high school Gay Straight Alliance shared the mission of
the organization to seventh-grade students at Port Jefferson Middle
School during National Coming Out Day. Dozens of students from both
schools are involved in the student-led organization, which works to
bring awareness for a safer, more supportive school environment, free
from bullying and harassment, not only for the LGBT community but for
all students. The students also hosted a bake sale with proceeds
earmarked for the Out of the Darkness Walk for suicide awareness and
prevention that they will participate in on Oct. 28 at Jones Beach along
with advisers Kristin Britt and Dinarae Camarda.
